ABSTRACT

Current research suggests COVID-19 in pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, and the approach to the management of affected patients presents a distinct challenge to clinicians. We present a case of gestational hypertension, eclampsia, and postpartum depression in a 39-year-old gravida 4, para 0030 (G4P0) pregnant patient following multiple prenatal severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. After a case of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) during her first trimester, the patient received a two-dose mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. Despite vaccination, she again contracted COVID-19 during her third trimester of pregnancy. She subsequently developed gestational hypertension at 38 weeks necessitating a cesarean section at 38+4 weeks. The patient delivered a healthy neonate, however, her postpartum course was complicated by eclampsia and postpartum depression. This case bolsters current literature and emphasizes the necessity of continued research into the effects of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women.
